Where a the best place to go to get electronic versions of some old photos ie to get an electronic copy of some printed images ? Do photo development places (ie Boots etc) over this is a service, or is it best to go to a printers (such as KallKwik) ? What sort of price/results has anyone had of doing this ? Simon

No, hence my needing to go somewhere to get them done. Plus, they're at my parent's house, so rather than bring them home with me and risk posting them back, I want to get them digitised when I next go home in a couple of weeks. Simon

Perhaps you might take copies first and then you can work with those. Many photo shops can do this instantly. Its like a photocopier but uses photo film. I have had it done and they are brilliant. You can have them enlarged at the same time. They don't need negatives. Costs two or three quid for A4 size. Bob

I would suggest that somewhere like Jessups would be able to scan your photos to a disc. Ann Glos
